Piers Morgan claims Lionel Messi is 'quitting elite football' ahead of his proposed move to Inter Miami - and yet he will avoid the 'scathing' criticism that Cristiano Ronaldo faced when he headed to Saudi Arabia.
Ronaldo forced his way out of Manchester United following a damning interview with Morgan that targeted the club and its manager Erik ten Hag.
The Portuguese star was widely derided for being a mercenary and taking a mega-money deal to join Al-Nassr, rather than continue at the highest level in Europe.
Now, with Messi, 35, walking out on French champions Paris Saint-Germain and being set to head to Major League Soccer, Morgan wants - but is not expecting - to see the same level of criticism. 'So, Messi quits elite football at 35, three years earlier than Ronaldo,' he tweeted. 'Presumably, we'll now read/hear all the same scathing, mocking pieces by sportswriters/pundits that they wrote/said about Cristiano - right? (Spoiler alert: we won't. )'Messi, the reigning World Cup champion and Argentina captain, has reportedly decided to join Inter Miami.
